BENCH-STOP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 405,401, dated June 18, 1889.

Application filed January 21, 1889. fierial No. 296,954. (No model.)

erence being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in bench-stops, the several features of which will be fully hereinafter set forth.

The nature of my invention consists in a stop raised and lowered by a screw-thread thereon and having projecting points on one face and slots in the opposite face, and a plate held in the frame stays the upper part in position when the same is adjusted for the several uses.

The construction is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure I is a side view of the bench-stop with a portion cut away on line 00, Fig. II. Fig. II is a top view of the same.

Like letters designate like parts throughout the several views.

A is a metallic frame, the top being an oblong square and recessed to receive the binding-plate and having arm D extending from beneath, which is provided with a threaded orifice to receive the screw E of the stop. The

lugs S of the frame support the binding-plate O. This bindingplate has a square orifice at its center with projections 7, which engage the front face of the stop, and fingerorifices 9 and 10, by which the same may be lifted out of the frame.

The stop B consists of a head having projections 3 4 5 6 on its front face. In its rear face are slots 1 2, and beneath the head is a screw E, to enterthe threaded orifice of the frame. The binding-plate embraces the square head of the stop and holds the same firmly in position, and is reversible. The projections of the stop are used to engage a board, and the slots 1 and 2 are for the purpose of holding narrow strips during planing. In handling, the binding-plate is removed, the stop turned to the proper elevation with the proper face forward for the special use, and the plate is dropped back in the frame, and the stop is thereby securely locked in position. It is attach ed to a carpenters bench by wood-screws passed through the frame.

Having fully described my invention, What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

A bench-stop comprising the frame A, stop B, with projections on one face and slots in the opposite face, and the binding-plate C, with projections, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN C. ECKERT.
